What is the status of the CETA agreement between the EU and Canada? In particular, I would like to ask about the ISDS within the agreement. I refer the Minister to his comments a few weeks ago when he assured us that the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, agreement will not contain a similar ISDS. Is it not the case that US corporations will be able to use the ISDS under CETA as a back door to sue European governments, including the Irish Government, that interfere in any way with their right to profit?
